So, what is up,  yo? I've completely figured out my iPod... I am the iPod video master... I whoop it's butt with a big stick, word.

Anndddd, I'm officially mobile!!! If anyone wants to talk or whatnot, call me! 596-4414 (615 it, of course). I'm terribly excited about that... I can walk and talk now, it's grand.

Guess what I discovered whilst at the DMV today (was there with mi sista)? The driving place next door has been giving out fake licenses... they got themselves caught, too. A "client" and the owner of the business were arrested... News was there, along with a couple o' sherriffs, getting their arrest on. In fact, a car was being towed while I was there...

It was kinda cool... I went around talking to the camera guys about it. One of 'em was pretty durn cool... Worse Converse, in fact. Yay him...

Welp, that's purty much it. Much love.

So, someone over here got a new toy... -=dramatic intro.... music swells and holds=- My IPOD!! Whoo-hoo! -=fade music=-... Where is my damn applause, people? Your lackluster enthusiasm is hurting me here. Anyway, so I had gotten my Mini in a while back. Thought there was something up with the USB 2 ports or something. Then, maybe the battery was slacking. Turns out, the iPod itself was a piece o' shite... tsk tsk, shame shame.

Soooo, I upgraded! Got a iPod video with 24 more GB, can hold 6,000 more songs, and video capable. Bigger screen annnnnd with color! Yay me... bonus, I only paid 70 bucks more for it than my Mini... Thrifty shopper over here. Needless to say, I'm thrilled with it.

My dad and my sister left me last weekend (whooooo-hooo!!!). They went down to Buloxi in a bleedingheart's fashion to help with the hurricane bit. Admirable, yes... but I mainly enjoyed the time away from a bit of the family. And, I got a free pizza and movie out of it. Went and saw Fun with Dick and Jane... Mucho hilariouso.

I've been working a lot lately. Which is cool. Normally I worked maybe four days outta the week. Now it's more like every night. I find it wonderful, seeing as now I've got to fix the sizeable dent in my wallet caused by my toy, pay for car's insurance (97$ a month), and a phone bill! Yup, got two bills in one day yesterday.

I'm getting my sis's old phone (which isn't really old, just old to her). I'm actually starting to resemble a normal teen, which is pathetic seeing as in 31 days I'll have my wonderous birthday. I'm so freakin' excited. Tattoooooooo here I come!

     Much love,

Okay, first off, did anyone besides myself notice that, although listed as listening to Garth Brooks, the icon displayed is in fact a Garfield comic strip? Odd.... I'm sure I didn't do that purposely, so how that happened is a bit of a mystery.

I recently found the answer to another mystery... actually, my sister told me the answer, but mystery solved either way. I wanted to know why pee is always a darker color when you're hot than when you are a comfortable/cool temperature.

Don't expect me to tell you why... That would defeat the whole "mystery" part to it, silly. But I digress. I'm currently in Brownsville, TN. Yay me. Visiting some family. Which is actually quite shocking 'cause I never go anywhere to visit family for more than an hour, and we will be here 4 days. We being my older sister and I.

It's been kinda fun...kinda really boring. Simply because I can't really contribute to the conversations relating to married life, etc. That seems to be all my sister and my aunt wanna talk about. I did get asked a question, though...and felt rather nice to finally be included in conversation. I'll be glad to get back, though. Well, be glad to not be bored, but hate the fact I'll be home again.

47 days till freedom. I'm mucho excited-o. But, I try not to think of it too terribly often. It makes the wait that much more difficult. I'm done for now... I was just posting to take up time anyway. Much love.

Currently Listening Garth Brooks: The Limited Series [Box Set] Shameless see related

It has nearly been an entire two months since my last post. Not that anyone noticed, nor do they care. I'm mainly updating for Steven's sake...he seems to want me to. And since no one but he and myself read this, I'll attribute this post to his urging.

Hopefully everyone had a fairly decent (at least) Christmas. I myself got a number of things I'm quite pleased with. Including a bike (to ride around campus next year) and an old Royal type-writer. Whoo-hoo, time to write crappy, droll things of no interest!

I did make a purchase on the very night of festive celebration, though. I'm the proud owner of a 6 gig Ipod Mini. I realize it is slightly outmoded, with the insurge of the sleeker, smaller Ipod Nano, but I don't trust myself with something that small. It would most definitely incur a break within two weeks of having it. I like my Mini. Or course, it isn't really here yet, as I got it off Ebay and am still awaiting it's arrival. I know I will love it, though. I'm excited!

And, even though everyone who reads this almost surely knows already: I broke up with Steven. For many reason and factors that none of you are worth my time typing out to divulge. I mean, only two people read this anyway and they already know.

I, personally, am very much thrilled with the departure of the Christmas season. No more 10-11 hour shifts at work. While the money is fabulous (how else could I afford my new toy?) dealing with people that much made my old homicidal tendencies act up again. Thankfully, there was no bloodshed. Although I would have felt a great deal better if there was. Until the investigations and subsequent jail time began, that is.

I've nothing else to say. Happy New Year, all. Don't get too smashed. You'd hate to wake up the morning of next year and realize with a small frown that your next door neighbor's plastic nativity scene is looking less like Baby Jesus, and more like what you had for dinner the night before. Cheers...much love.

So, I talked to Steven yesterday...like, ya know... "talked". It basically came down to wether or not he got into college. I just can't see and rationalize myself spending so much time and such on a "serious", long-term relationship if it isn't going to end in marriage, especially at age 17. And I most definitely can't rationalize marrying someone that couldn't support me if I wasn't able to work.

   I just feel like I'm more purpose driven than he is. It just seems like he isn't working towards anything, like there's nothing motivating him for something in life. And that's all I have. All there is to me are my plans and my ambition and what I'm going to do when I'm older. Not what I want to do, what I will do...and that's what seperates us. There's a big differences in having those big, fancy plans and dreams and actually doing something about them and having a big, fancy future planned out.

   I do love him, though. I wouldn't have spent so much time with him if I didn't. I do... but now, it is just getting to a point where decisions need to be made. And it sucks. I just want to crawl into a deep, dark hole and hide from all reality and make other people do the deciding and the work for me. Make them face the consequences of their actions and so forth. Unfortunately, that's just not the way life works... if only it was. I'd sleep easier at night.
